This was really delicious except the shrimp gets a bit over cooked as it doesn't take long to cook. I will make this again with some cooked chicken breast, bet its delicious too.

Thanks for a great recipe. I microwaved the chopped zucchini, mushroom and onion mixture in the microwave for 90 seconds using a small amount of avocado oil in place of the butter. I omitted the egg and baked the mixture in 8 oz dishes in the air fryer at 360 degrees for 8 minutes. An 8 oz dish was tasty and enough for my lunch.

Greetings, Have you ever tried an egg substitute in this recipe? If you have can you please suggest which one will work with this recipe. Much appreciated VG

Hi VG, I have not tried substituting the egg in this recipe. The egg gives it a "quiche" like texture. A quick google search indicates that these ideas may work.

Mix together 2 tablespoons of arrowroot powder and 3 tablespoons of water to replace 1 egg. Arrowroot powder is a great replacement for eggs.

JUST Egg is a plant-based egg substitute product made from mung beans. It scrambles just like eggs and it also makes an excellent quiche filling.

I hope that helps and good luck :)

Does this recipe double easily without changing any measurements

Hi Sam, you should be able to double this just fine. It should fit in a 9x13-inch baking dish and may require some extra baking time. Make sure the center is cooked through. Thanks for your question :)
